@Kevin Cespedes Go to the local zoning board and see if the property is zoned for such a conversion. Then find out what the process is to get that done. You will need to hire an architect for drawings and plans and a local one will be familiar with the process and the zoning laws. If it is possible not only will you get the added income stream but it will increase the value of your property tremendously. If you cant do the conversion maybe you could offer it as an AirBNB for added income.
